Figures from the worlds of politics and entertainment have united behind the Queen’s message to “remain united and resolute” amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Queen’s address to the nation on Sunday evening prompted a flurry of tweets about her sentiments.

“The Queen speaks for the whole country and our determination to defeat the coronavirus,” new Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer tweeted.

“The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.”

Trade Secretary Liz Truss described the message as “inspiring”, while Nadine Dorries MP – who tested positive for Covid-19 earlier in March – said it was “perfect” and adding: “We really are all #InThisTogether.”
